- Description:
- Large group of Detroit Public School teachers, some carrying picket signs, walk in front of the Maccabees Building on Putnam in Detroit, Michigan. "Defying a “back-to-work” order by the Wayne County Circuit Court, enormous fines, and pressure from the media, Detroit School Board, and parents, nearly 5,000 DFT teachers and their supporters staged a massive picket outside the School Center Building during one of the longest and most bitter strikes in the school system’s history. Increased pay, accountability, and class sizes were the issues that dragged the strike out to 43 days, causing the Detroit Public Schools to close for over a month," from The Faces of Detroit, Walter Reuther Library website.
